Description
Built in 2019 to a high standard, Braeside is an attractive country house designed for 21st century living. In addition to the main house there is a detached 1,000 sq ft garage and studio. The property is approached over a long drive and is surrounded by its own gardens. Despite the rural surroundings, the house is in an accessible location for rail and road networks, whilst Chelmsford city and local villages are close by.
The house is versatile by design, with a light and airy feel, and has been constructed with concrete to the first floor for insulation and soundproofing. A fine hall stands at the centre of the house, finished with porcelain-style tiles which contrast with the bespoke staircase. Pride of place goes to the kitchen/ dining room, designed to provide a great deal of natural light with two sets of bi-fold doors overlooking the gardens. The whole room is finished with light tiling, which is underheated. The kitchen features Corian worktops with contrasting colour-toned and white units, which anchor around a substantial island. There are many integrated appliances - ovens, hob, wine fridge and dishwasher. The kitchen is open-plan to a dining or family area which has a raised fireplace open to the living room, creating a lovely feature.
Adjacent is a utility room, a pantry and a shower room. On the opposite side of the house is a living room, which again features the 'hole in the wall' fireplace to the kitchen area. Bi-fold doors frame lovely views over the gardens, opening onto the terrace. At the front, overlooking the drive and countryside beyond, is a fifth bedroom, home office or playroom.
On the first floor, which has underfloor heating, there are four generous bedrooms wrapped around a very large landing. The bedrooms to the front have far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, and at the rear over the property’s grounds. The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony, built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes and are served by a family bath and shower room.
A long drive passes over brick paviours onto a stone-chipped parking area in front of the house and garage. The garage has power, light, water and drainage connected. There may be potential for conversion to an annexe, as a whole or at first floor level (subject to planning permission). Set deep in its plot, there are extensive lawns to the front which wrap around the house, enclosed by trees and hedging. Behind the kitchen and living area is a concrete terrace for entertaining and dining in the summer months. The lawns are separated by stone-filled baskets creating a feature wall.
In all about 1.1 acres.
